In short

  • I'm a school psychologist who enjoys going against stereotype unless it doesn't suit me.  I've always harbored a secret fantasy of making a living via writing.  I've a growing file of pink slips from various publications.  I'm a husband, father, camper, cheesemaker, and cook.  The kids at my schools know me as "Big Blonde Brian"
